Good value carrier

By MilaMomma

I needed a new carrier because my pup's previous carrier seemed to small for flying, though used many times to do so. It was time and I searched Petsmart for the perfect carrier. This ended up seeming like the best value and for the price, it was exactly what I was looking for. A comfortable home that was big enough for my pup to have more space during flights across the country, and not too expensive. My biggest need was for it to meet airline guidelines as far as size. Because it's a soft sided carrier, it met the requirement with no issues to or from. The only problem I had with the carrier is that it was shipped without the 'over the shoulder' strap.

I won’t buy another one, but I’m not sending it back

I’ve got a 3 lb kitten, a 7 lb year old and one 17lb 10 year old. I bought 3 of the large ones. I do realize the large ones aren’t designed for kittens, but I was looking for an investment. These and just so lightweight and flexible they really aren’t a good fit for any of my cats. They collapse easily. All 3 cats have been able to roll them over bc they were trying to get out. I think this flexibility would be good if you were to take it on an airplane. It has some really good intentions. It has a lot of zippers, but you have to zip it up on both sides partially or you’ll never get a flailing cat in and zipped up. Both ends have clasps to keep the zippers locked, but 2 out the 3 have lost atI’ve got a 3 lb kitten, a 7 lb year old and one 17lb 10 year old. I bought 3 of the large ones.

Both ends have clasps to keep the zippers locked, but 2 out the 3 have lost at least one of the clasps. It does have a flat piece in the bottom that can come out then a soft piece to make it more comfortable. It looks like a gym bag. I don’t mind the style and I like that 3 of the four sides can unzip so you can try to calm the cat. My 17 pound cat is chubby, but he’s also a big cat. I don’t think he’d be comfortable for a long plane ride. It’s too big for the other cats. I think maybe a mild mannered, not easily bothered, medium sized cat would probably be the best fit for this carrier. I think all of my cats would do better with a little more structure. One big bonus though is that I was able to carry all 3 of them with one arm. One using the shoulder strap and the other 2 fit in one hand. I guess that is a benefit of the flexibility. I’ll keep them and use them. I took the fat cat to the vet today and it kind of felt like the strap was giving it all it had and I was concerned it might snap. Oh, almost forgot, it has straps on the back so you can use it with a seatbelt.… more

A BAD DESIGN

By Malo
on Aug 1, 2018

Used it first time today to find out it's really a poorly designed bag: the shoulder strap hooked on 2 soft side flips, once it's on my shoulder, the top of the bag fold in, crushed around my dog's head and the whole bag rolled away from my body. The hand-hold handle straps also crushed top of the bag, taking away head room. My dog is a 7 lb Maltese, I got the large bag, yet there is no room left on top for him once on my shoulder. If you plan to leave on a flat surface, it should work ok.

Seemed like a great carrier at first, until the zipper broke off

I had purchased this pet carrier to transport my Rex Rabbit to and from the vet. He's about 8 pounds and the size of a full grown cat. Nonetheless, he's big. He fit perfectly in this, the sherpa was nice and soft and well ventilated. Also a bonus is that there was a pocket for carrying treat. All this was good UNTILL, I had put my rabbit in the pet carrier. BOTH zippers managed to come off, with him inside it. I somehow managed to transport him because we had places to be, but after I got home, this went in the trash. Other than that, it would be a great pet carrier if the zippers weren't so cheaply made!

Airplane ride

By Dogmomma

I bought this bag to bring home a puppy on an airplane. The bag is reasonably priced and made with good materials. The bag is lightweight and has good ventilation. My only “issue” was that the bag rolled while I was carrying it by the shoulder strap when my pupppy was moving around in it. It was ok when I put my arm around the side and held it to my side, like I would my purse.

Cat container

By Chris
on Jun 18, 2018

For a cat container it's got plenty of ventilation however the mesh is not strong enough to keep your animal inside. If your cat is not declawed like mine it will tear the mesh easily. The other thing is that if your cat is inside it's not rigid enough and the container collapses itself onto your animal. I honestly wish I had bought a plastic container much safer for cat.

Perfect for us

Great carrier for the price. It is sturdy and comfortable. My cat is 4 months old and he travels in this carrier on my monthly 2 hour drive. He sleeps and remains calm inside this bag due to the little bed that it comes with and the windows all around. I would definitely recommend it unless you have a giant fat cat

Not as expected

By Loni
on Jun 24, 2018

It’s ancute carrier and small which is what I needed for my little Chihuahua. The biggest problem with this carrier is if your dog tilts to one side the whole bag while on your shoulders tilts over too. It’s like the bag does a back flip. I have to constantly keep adjusting the bag and holding it upright by the handles while on my shoulders. It’s so annoying. Dogs move around in their carrier and to have to watch to make sure my dog is not being turned upside down is aggravating. I’ll be looking for a different bag as I am not pleased with this bag at all.

Cute but not durable

By Michi75

So this bag is very cute and a nice size for my cat Bandit. She has plenty of room inside. However soon after I started using it I noticed that one of the mesh planels started to come apart at the seams. Really inconvenient but I can fix it. It also does really smell when you first get it but put air it out by a window and it will dissipate in a day or two.

Not so impressed

By Cuddlepuppy

This bag doesnt hold up very well with the puppy inside and the nails can poke through holes easily and make tears. Also this was not allowed on the plane ride we took, we had to have someone pick up the puppy and leave. I ask way before even buying this but its whatever, i took the chance anyways..had to throw it away after cz the threading came apart from the puppy.
